Submicrocapsules have been prepared from diethylaminoethyl dextran and xanthan gum on oil cores by ultrasonic treatment. These capsules have been modified with poly-L-lysine via electrostatic adsorption. The behavior of the capsules has been investigated at an air-water interface after their introduction into the aqueous subphase. The interaction of the capsules with a 1,2-dimyristoyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphocholine monolayer formed on the water surface (model cellular membrane) has been studied both upon their introduction under the condensed monolayer and with the use of a dilute colloidal solution of the capsules as a subphase.
